Here is a picture of me and my very first car, I was 15 years old.

Looks familiar....

She needs Me, Hanke and....Ryan in the back seat.....to get them springs to settle [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Looks great....the springs will settle....be patient, plus you still have all the interior and spare tire to go in.

I assume you....do have the correct plastic inserts for the rear tail panel trim?

Dan </div></div>

all I have is the original inserts. not sure if they can be reused.

at this point I dont think the car will be complete for Ohio. I have 3 1/2 days from now until then to work on it. and if the rear and front door panels continue to fight me they wont be on.

Looking great Donnie.

Appears you need one of my &quot;correct&quot; Emission/Tune-Up decals for the upper rad support [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Donnie, the door panels on my DY 69 fought with Phil (Woj) and I during the restoration on that car.
We know what your going through, been down that road...
